Hi to all,

this isi my first post on hi-fi barry plus forum!

I have a setup with raspberry plus and hi-fiberry dac plus until six month.The dac is connected to my hi-fi (Pioneer Sa 8500 with two indiana lines )

I love this kind of setup but i'm encountering from the beggining a big problem. Flac files that have mastered on stereo format, can't listen well. If i switch my hi.fi to stereo mode the left speaker is ok, but right listen very very few!! So i can't have stereo sound! 

I've tried to change os (volumio, rune audio, moode, open elec) but  i hve the same problem. Is not a speakers problem (i also use my deck, a rega p3), and is not a problem of my hi-fi, i tried directly my external cd player and my ipod touch.

Actually i'm unning runeaudio, how can i resolve this problem???

 

Thanks very much

Gabriele

  Hi Daniel and good morning :)

  My amplifier, the Pioneer Sa 8500 II, had a switch with 5 options of listening (Rev, Stereo, L+R, Left or Right). If i switch to L+R both channels working but the sound is mono, the same per rev.

  If i switch, instead, on Stereo my left speaker working well besides my right speaker have a few crackle and the sound is very very very low.

  I try fro example with hello goodbye by beatles... I don't know if you listent to this song but on the left side works well and i can hear the violins and the voices while on the right side the other part of the choirs and the guitar doesn't come.

  I can't understand the problem, maybe the problem is on my hi-fi but don't know.

   

  Thanks for your interest!

  Gabriele

  Hi Gabriele,

  this is not a software issue, but it looks like a hardware problem. As your amplifier is quite old, it is possible that one input is broken. Do you get stereo sound if you connect another device to the input that is used for the DAC+?

  Best regards

  Hi Daniel,

  thanks for your past reply on Sunday! I have five ways to set the source (tape, tuner, phono 1, phono 2, Aux). I always used aux, i think there is more gain, with the raspberry and the dac.

  Now i try to connect the dac on the tuner jack and i have the stereo sound. So i think is a problem of my aux connectors..

  Thanks,

  bye
